Very well done.. rain and ear ache!!

You have done well...keep it steady and remember as you head to Week 6 you are totally ready for the runs... each one making you stronger.. at this stage too, don't neglect strength and stamina exercises on your rest days... your body has to keep up with your developing running legs :)
